Paul Lambert knows Ipswich Town will need ‘a little bit of help’ in January but doesn’t believe the squad needs a radical overhaul once the transfer window opens.

Lambert has taken over an Ipswich side sitting bottom of the Championship table following the departure of Paul Hurst, who oversaw a period of major change at the club prior to his departure last week.

Twelve new players arrived in the summer while established players such as Martyn Waghorn and Adam Webster departed, with Lambert believing a squad lacking Championship experience could use further reinforcement as they bid to move away from trouble.
